The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 198 Plan
In front of Xiao Ayu, Grandma Wang will always be a kind and loving grandmother.

Now, this matter is no longer simply known to the Wang family; there is a risk that it will be exposed to outsiders.

Ayu is young and doesn't know, which is understandable. Even adults sometimes can't hide their secrets.

Not to mention that Ayu is only four years old.

But the child doesn't know, and neither does the deity behind the child.
Was the guardian deity truly protecting Ayu, rather than harming her?

Chen Yuan looked like a shrewd person. Although he had a clear and intelligent appearance, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would cheat or be cunning.

But which businessman in this world doesn't think about his own interests?

Why let Ayu expose her biggest secret to outsiders?
Little Ayu waited for Grandma Wang to speak to her, but Grandma Wang just looked at her without saying a word, which made Little Ayu feel a little flustered.

"Grandma..."

Grandma Wang thought that she must teach Xiao Ayu a lesson this time, so that she would know that there are some things that should never be told to outsiders.

That could be life-threatening!
However, before she could even unleash her sharp gaze, she saw little Ayu looking pitiful, as if she had been frightened by her.

Old Mrs. Wang's heart suddenly softened.

I remember when I first met Xiao Ayu, the little girl was as thin as a monkey, and her face was flushed red because of a fever.

When she opened her eyes, they looked remarkably like Wang Aibao's in her memory.

At that time, Old Mrs. Wang regarded Xiao Ayu as Wang Aibao and was almost willing to risk her life to protect her.

But after spending a short time together, Grandma Wang realized that this little girl was different from her daughter.

Wang Aibao and Wang Chuanman are twins, but their treatment is vastly different.

The three older sons focused almost all their attention on Wang Aibao, while they didn't care much about their younger brother.

Therefore, Wang Aibao was somewhat spoiled when she was a child, and even on the road of fleeing famine, she never went hungry.

Little Ayu was different. Almost after she arrived at Old Wang's house, she became exceptionally sensible and well-behaved, which was heartbreaking.

Grandma Wang intentionally wanted the Wang family to spoil little Ayu, because she didn't want to see the little girl with such a heavy psychological burden.

Later, Xiao Ayu became more lively, but she still had her principles deep down. Even though she was lively and mischievous, she never crossed the line.

On the contrary, it makes people feel that she is exceptionally sensible at such a young age.

Grandma Wang never dared to think too deeply about what kind of life Ayu had before she met the Wang family.

Seeing Xiao Ayu's anxious expression, Grandma Wang could only sigh deeply in her heart before hugging Xiao Ayu into her arms.

She said softly, "Ayu, tell Grandma why you want to tell that person."

Because she was outside, Old Mrs. Wang didn't explain things very clearly.

Your grandmother wants to ask about the elixir of life.

Xiao Ayu lied about this once, and now that she's realized it, she still feels guilty.

Now that he didn't want to lie to Grandma, he honestly told Grandma Wang what had happened.

After hearing this, Grandma Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

What task was it that needed to be completed this time?
Indeed, if it's just a simple steamed bun recipe, you'd be lucky to sell it for 100 taels of silver.

The other party asked for 800 taels, which was very sincere, but they insisted on asking for 1000 taels. There must be a reason for that.

According to Grandma Wang, Ayu already has two tasks: one is to grow 500 taels of grain in the field, since Grandma Wang's previous efforts have left little grain.

Now there's another task, and it's still related to money.

Grandma Wang couldn't help but wonder, could Ayu's guardian deity be a god of wealth? All she thinks about all day is how to make money.

What worries Grandma Wang the most is whether the guardian spirit behind it wants to complete its mission or protect Ayu.

Which of these two things is more important?
If the mission is more important than Ayu, then Old Mrs. Wang will have to think of a way to control the guardian spirit.

Otherwise, her beloved granddaughter would be killed by Him sooner or later.

Originally, Old Mrs. Wang only wanted to negotiate to 1000 taels of silver, and if they could reach an agreement, they would; if not, so be it.

But since it's Ayu's mission, it's essential to reach an agreement first.

Ah Yu must have put something in the well inside the steamed bun shop, otherwise the taste wouldn't be like that.

This was something that Old Mrs. Wang figured out on her own, and she didn't tell Ayu.

When Chen Yuan returned, it was already fifteen minutes later.

Chen Yuan thought he had eaten something bad and was going to have diarrhea for days.

Unexpectedly, after having a bowel movement, I felt completely refreshed and had no discomfort whatsoever.

No, if there was anything wrong, it was that his legs were a little numb from squatting.

Could it be that cup of herbal tea from earlier?
That shouldn't be the case; there's no such thing as instant results.

In the few days since he arrived in Nanhe Town, he hasn't eaten a variety of foods. He's never been one for big appetites, so he hasn't eaten much.

After he tidied himself up, went back to the guest room to change his clothes, and returned to the private room, he found that Old Mrs. Wang had already left.

Chen Yuan's lips curled into a smile.

It seems the old man doesn't want to talk about it.

Very well, I'll leave 500 taels for my little benefactor as a way of repaying his kindness.

Just as he was about to leave, the waiter arrived, carrying a plate of fruit.

"Sir, you're back? Just now, someone from the Wang family invited the old lady back, so she left with Ayu. Before leaving, they left this plate of fruit as an apology. They also left a message saying that if you're interested, you can have lunch at the Wang family's house."

Hearing the waiter say this, Chen Yuan was unmoved and even thought that he should just give up on doing business with the Wang family.

It was clear that the matriarch of their family wasn't interested in this, and he wasn't willing to put on a show of enthusiasm only to be met with indifference.

Chen Yuan took the plate of fruit and noticed the envy in the waiter's eyes.

"Is there anything special about this fruit?" Chen Yuan asked, almost as if it were a strange impulse.

The waiter immediately said, "Oh dear, these fruits are grown by Old Wang's family; no one else can grow them. They have a small stall next to their steamed bun shop that sells candied hawthorns. Have you seen it, sir? These fruits are the main ingredient for candied hawthorns, and they're sold individually."

What the waiter didn't mention was that the fruit in front of them was even bigger than the fruit used to make candied hawthorns, and it tasted even better.

Because Xiao Ayu left two more for the waiter, who was a glutton, he ate them in a few bites and is still savoring the taste.

If it weren't for the sentiment behind those two fruits, the waiter would have kept the whole plate of fruit for himself.

Chen Yuan seemed to be deep in thought.

So he figured the Wang family must be decent people, and he decided to visit them.

Since he was going to have lunch, he naturally couldn't be there during mealtimes. He planned to browse around the nearby shops to see if anyone offered to deliver gifts.

After Chen Yuan finished buying the things and took the box to Old Wang's house, Old Mrs. Wang had already told Old Wang's family about the matter, indicating that if they really wanted to sell the child, she had her own plans.

They were simply told not to interrupt, not to speak, and not to make any other inappropriate expressions.
